"Ah la la la la la life is wonderful."--The Mraz

On this day of giving thanks, I figured I'd do the obligatory entry where I give mad thanks for what I've got. So, here's my Thanksgiving list, courtesy of Korea.

• living near the mountains--my mountains
• a steady job that pays me more money than I've ever been paid
• my class, which I'm totally in love with
• feeling loved by the people I left behind
• the people I left behind being healthy and happy
• $5 bootlegs--LOVE it!!
• not having to drive anywhere
• meeting new people from all over the world
• Not having student loans to pay off
• A new found appreciation for our neighbor to the north, Canada ;)
• having an opportunity to be immersed in a new culture and language
• having a once in a life-time experience I'll never be able to forget, no matter how hard I might try

While I'm feeling a little bit down that I can't be at home, I did have a nice dinner here, and I am happy. It's just a different kind of happy, I guess.

Anyway, wishes of happiness and a full belly.

Found this today: "Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving."--W.T. Purkisr

Now go out there and use those blessings. I'm gonna try.

Much love.
